Epigenetic inactivation of oncogenic brachyury (TBXT) by H3K27 histone demethylase controls chordoma cell survival
2018-10-01
Abstract excerpt
The expression of the transcription factor brachyury ( TBXT ) is normally restricted to embryonic development and its silencing after mesoderm development is epigenetically regulated. In chordoma, a rare tumour of notochordal differentiation, TBXT acts as a putative oncogene, and we hypothesised that its expression could be controlled through epigenetic inhibition. Screening of five chordoma cell lines revealed...
